Post 60 gets rained out
The players were in uniform, lineup cards were filled out and the umpire had his mask, but Mother Nature kept the Valley City Post 60 baseball team from playing its home opener with Great Bend Thursday at Charlie Brown Field. A half-hour long rainstorm started minutes before the double header was ready to be played. The storm drenched everything in Valley City’s dugout and left large puddles throughout the infield. In the above photo, the puddles are the lighter spots on the infield. The team plays all weekend long at a tournament in LaMoure. The new home opener will be Thursday vs. Kindred.

Babe Ruth team splits games
The Valley City Babe Ruth baseball team opened its season with a double header split Friday afternoon.
Valley City lost 4-0 in a league game to Steele, but came back with a 10-5 win in a non-conference game.
In the loss, Valley City was limited to three hits, two from Dalton Ondracek.
Nate Rodriguez and Ondracek split pitching duties in the game and each allowed two runs, one earned.
In the second game pitchers Jesse Johnson and Casey Englehard allowed a combined three hits over four innings and the Valley City offense put together 11 hits.
Ondracek, Jordan Magnuson and Jonah Wolla all had two hits and Ondracek had three runs batted in.
“It was great to see the guys come out in game two and play as aggressively as they did after the first game,” Lukes said. “Each player chipped in one way or another in this victory.”
